The cause of the downstream failure ( cmake adds "-lLibMinimal" to the
linker ) is caused by the the cmake install(EXPORT) error.
You need to have LibMinimal in your export set so that CMake at export
time is aware that it is an interface library and generates the
correct import interface target to represent it. Without that
information you will generate an invalid information, and have an
invalid link line.
